Columbus groups C and D revealed

The remaining two groups for MLG Columbus 2016 have been announced, as the other half of the teams learned their fate at the next major.

MLG have finished revealing the groups, which were based on seeding pools that depended on the teams' results at DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca and MLG Columbus Main Qualifier.

While at a major no group can be considered easy to any of the teams, but it seems that group D teams have received the short end of the stick, as it features Natus Vincere, Virtus.pro, G2 and Cloud9.

Ex6TenZ's G2 will fight Virtus.pro, Natus Vincere and Cloud9 for a spot in the playoffs

Group C, on the other hand, will offer two teams that are in the current top five of our world ranking, Astralis at number three and Envy as the fifth-best team in the world, joined by the improving CLG and Gambit.

From March 29-31, the following four groups will be played out at the upcoming major, MLG Columbus 2016:

Group A	Group B	Group C	Group D
Ninjas in Pyjamas	FaZe	Envy	Natus Vincere
Luminosity	fnatic	Astralis	Virtus.pro
